Learning what health foods for muscle building to promote growth isn't rocket science, although its the frequency of eating that's the hard part. Eating health foods for muscle building is a full-time job. I personally try to eat health foods that are usually high in protein.

In order for you to build muscle you must be working out hard enough to create a change in your body. What's most important to promote growth is the consumption of food and the source. You must be eating more than your burning off per day if your really looking to put on muscle size. This was my biggest mistake when I first starting working out. I wasn't eating right for my goal.

Protein is essential for muscle growth and eating health foods for muscle building is the only way to reach your goal. I used to eat anything I wanted and never saw the results I was looking for. As soon as I learned nutrition everything changed.

Dietary sources of protein include meats, eggs, dairy products such as milk and cheese, grains and legumes. Different protein sources have differing proportions of essential amino acids; therefore a variety of protein sources provides a full complement of the essential amino acids. Gaining all of one's protein from a single source (such as meat or soy) reduces the opportunity to gain a full complement of amino acids.

Recommendations suggest 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight while some extreme sources suggest that higher intakes of 1–2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight are desirable. Higher levels of protein intake have not been proven to be necessary and may be harmful due to increased stress on the kidneys and liver.

Good luck with your muscle building:)
